How well-equipped is this city for those raising infants/toddlers? Specifically, are there public places to change diapers, maintained playgrounds, etc?

Nashville is very well equipped and child friendly. Most shops and restaurants provide restroom facilities that have diaper changing stations. Also, there are many well maintained parks designed with children in mind. A lot of playground equipment and sand boxes for children to enjoy as well as open, grassy areas for them to run to their heart's content.↑ Top

Where can I get a list of reliable childcare providers/nannies?

The best way to find reliable child-care providers is asking neighbors, colleagues and friends who also have children. They are normally the best sources from which to obtain such lists as they have experience with people in the field.

Unfortunately, Nashville City does not at this time provide a list of approved people /agencies that they would recommend for either nanny or on-going child care services.↑ Top
